Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a series of new sexual assault and rape accusations. Four new civil lawsuits were filed against him by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, alleging that Combs sexually assaulted two men in 2022, raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000, and raped a woman in 2022. The suits also claim that Combs drugged the victims. Buzbee plans to file a total of seven suits. Combs’ team has yet to respond to the new allegations.
These lawsuits come after six other suits were filed against Combs last week, to which his attorneys denied all accusations. Combs is currently being held without bail on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, with his trial set to begin on May 5. Federal prosecutors are analyzing data from over 90 devices seized from Combs. His legal team is seeking to have his accusers in the federal case publicly identified for a proper defense preparation.
Combs has faced various lawsuits in the past, including from his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura and former group member Dawn Richard. Combs has consistently denied all allegations against him. He is appealing his bail denial and continues to fight against the allegations. NBC’s entertainment correspondent Chloe Melas has been covering the latest developments in the case.
